Hello, Iffy Layla, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

In a nutshell: for any info you add about a living person, you are required to say where you found that information, so that somebody else reading it can verify for themselves. This applies to all information you might add to a Wikipedia article, but we enforce it especially strictly for information about living persons, and we are required to remove information about living persons that is not referenced.

We don't expect anyone to make perfect inline citations in their first edits, that can be a little bit complicated. You can just provide a plain link to the website where you found the info, or if it's not an online source, provide enough information that somebody else who wants to verify would be able to locate it (for example, the name and author of a book, or the title and issue number of a magazine article). If you use the visual editor (most new users have the visual editor by default) there is a button in the editor that will help you fill in a reference. We have a guide to referencing for beginners which will help you get started, and also has some information on what we consider a "reliable" source. You can also see our more advanced guideline on citing sources if you'd like, but it's a long page.

If you need more help, please feel free to ask at the help desk or the tearoom and somebody there will offer advice. Thank you and happy editing. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:56, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
